Adopt STRAVINSKY

Male · Young · 2 years

Hello, I arrived at the pound, so we don't know my past. When I first arrived, I was really very fearful, almost aggressive, but I've evolved a lot since then. I've understood that humans don't necessarily mean me harm. However, I remain very reserved and I might regress for a while when changing environments. I'm looking for a patient and invested family who will give me time to reveal myself. I am a fearful cat. I am positive for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and calicivirus. The agents can provide more information on these illnesses. A placement with another cat is possible if that cat also carries these illnesses. I can live in a house or an apartment, but my health being more fragile, I should not have access to the outdoors.

Bonjour, je suis arrivé par la fourrière, on ne connait donc pas mon passé. Lors de mon arrivée j'était vraiment très très craintif voir agressif mais j'ai depuis énormément évolué, j'ai compris que l'humain ne me voulait pas forcément du mal, cependant je reste toujours fortement sur la réserve et je risque de régresser un temps lorsque je changerais d'environnement. Je cherche une famille patiente et investie, pour me laisser le temps de me dévoiler. Je suis un chat craintif. Je suis positif au sida du chat (FIV) et au calicivirus, les agents pourront vous donner plus d'explication sur ces maladies. Un placement avec un autre chat est possible si celui ci porte aussi ces maladies. Je peux vivre en maison ou en appartement mais ma santé étant plus fragile je ne devrais pas avoir accès a l'extérieur.

About STRAVINSKY

What life with STRAVINSKY looks like

STRAVINSKY is a medium-sized young adult cat waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

Note from the shelter: FIV positive and calicivirus positive - indoor only due to compromised immune system

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting STRAVINSKY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about STRAVINSKY?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Rennes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw STRAVINSKY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt STRAVINSKY if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Rennes will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is STRAVINSKY already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if STRAVINSKY isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA Rennes early rather than rehoming privately; they know STRAVINSKY and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
